Canadian Pacifico Seaweeds (CPS) is an agritech company specializing in seed technology for scalable seaweed restoration and cultivation. Our mission is to develop cutting-edge solutions that enhance efficiency, sustainability, and scalability in the seaweed industry.
CPS’ core focus is to pinpoint critical bottlenecks within the seaweed industry and create industrial solutions using state of the art technologies and the latest advancements in biological sciences delivering precision farming solutions to enable both conservation and commercial growers.
We provide high-performance seeding solutions that optimize kelp attachment, survival, and growth. By combining biodegradable adhesives, automated seeding machines, and resilient seedstock, we are redefining the way seaweed is cultivated—both for marine restoration and commercial farming.
KelpSpat© is an innovative, biodegradable adhesive and automated seeding solution designed to transform kelp restoration & cultivation. By ensuring higher attachment success and improved survival rates, KelpSpat© is the first truly scalable method tailored for both marine restoration efforts and commercial kelp farming.
The seaweed industry lacks an effective method for large-scale seaweed restoration. Existing seeding methods result in an unsustainable 80% mortality rate. This not only hampers restoration efforts but also affects cultivation activities.
Addressing these challenges is crucial to ensuring the future sustainability and growth of the seaweed industry globally.
Current methods require extensive manual effort, driving up operational costs.
High labour and material expenses make large-scale restoration financially challenging.
An 80% mortality rate severely undermines both restoration and cultivation success.
KelpSpat© enhances kelp attachment, reduces mortality by up to 80% and increases crop yields.
KelpSpat© lowers labour demands and boosts operational efficiency, reducing costs up to 50%.
KelpSpat© has been successfully tested & applied in Canada, Chile, Norway and beyond.
KelpSpat© merges cutting-edge technology with biological innovation to transform restoration and kelp farming.
